You don't think it's reasonable to expect machine learning to work on new cards? That's exactly the point. ML on AMD is a third-class citizen.

- dragontamer 5y agoAMD's MI100 has those 4x4 BFloat16 and FP16 matrix multiplication instructions you want, with PyTorch and TensorFlow compiling down into them through ROCm. Now don't get me wrong: $9000 is a lot for a development system to try out the software. NVidia's advantage is that you can test out the A100 by writing software for cheaper GeForce cards at first. NVidia also makes it easy with the DGX computer to quickly get a big A100-based computer. AMD you gotta shop around with Dell vs Supermicro (etc. etc.) to find someone to build you that computer.
